The Escapist Avatar Adventure: An Open RP (Now Re-Opened!)

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Melethia, Jenny, Teri, Sadei

"*Laugh* I forgot about you guys to be completely honest! Ahem, well, they will have guns so if you could find a way to make sure that they didn't have them anymore..." Jenny stated as the gang moved out towards the mine.
"Then, I guess you could help us move all the Iron and such afterwards if you are able."

Slindis, Rugal, Lupito

Picking up on her field, Rugal managed to follow her every movement as they went in deeper into the cave, getting darker and darker as they moved away from the cliff face.
"These are the Torchbearers you speak of, right? Reminds me of our own group...Tell me more, if you don't mind." He asked, unaffected by the darkness, it really doesn't get any worse for the blind.
Crystal Team

Spoiler: Visual Reminder

After the meet and greet was over, the Team moved towards the hidden city and towards the target that Dimitri had set.
They first entered the residential area, many homes made of stone, each one in disrepair in cobwebs.
The place was completely deserted and devoid of life and it had been for a long long time.
At least they didn't have to worry about being attacked, Right?...
...
Right?...

 

[bluerocker]

Melethia, Jenny, Teri, Sadei

Sadei almost squealed in joy at Teri's response. I'll do my best to help you out as well, Teri! I mean, even if we can't find out who I was, I know that you've been the best friend I've ever had~!

Teri couldn't help but grin at Sadei's enthusiasm, and made a silent oath to herself to keep in contact with the staff. She was all Sadei had after all, [color=0E59E4]"Thank you, Sadei, on both accounts. You're not too shabby a companion yourself. Hey, maybe if we get the time, I'll have Mel, Mum or Dad take me through some more exercises! It'll do us both some good, I bet."[/color]

As they continued towards the cave, Teri made the extra point to mention to her wolfy companion to keep his nose to the air for anything funny, [color=0E59E4]"You smell something funny, lemme know, alright? Don't want us all to get jumped by some bigass miner..."[/color]

Crystal Team

Cutie Bruisers, Devon, Caim, Angelus, Kalastryn

Angelus sent her own encouragement to the Tonberry after Devon, "Your Mistress is lucky to have as devoted a creature as you, little one. Devon speaks the truth in his words."

Ton Ton perked up at their words, and gave a sheepish giggle, [color=15650D]"Okay Mr. Devon! I trust you wouldn't lie to me. Now, let's get that crystal!"[/color]

As they landed, Caim continued his silent laughter at Kalastryn's reaction and waved a hand,

"He hasn't had them [u]that[/u] long. Ever heard of adoption? But the matter of Rugal's parenting skills can wait. We've a job to do."

Dismounting the dragon with ease (and Angelus dipping her neck for Devon to leave with a smaller drop), Caim kept his hand near the handle of his family blade; just in case something leaped out from gods know where.

Angelus, on the other hand, sniffed the air, Cadolbolg doing the same to aid, and the two gave the same conclusion: all they smelled was dust and spiders.

 

[bluecrimson]

Melethia, Jenny, Teri, Sadei

The imps heard Jenny's response to them and got ready to fan out through the mine, using the buddy system to keep one another covered as they searched for the weapons. They may not be the strongest fighters, but the experience in the Blackhawke gave them a decent amount of experience in not being noticed.

Before the others went in the mine, Melethia put a hand up. "Hrm, I think they aren't too happy with visitors...Eh, that's too bad for them, isn't it? Be careful, 'cause people like this keep their stuff well guarded."

Sadei thought about it for a second then responded again. You know, I think Melethia could do that. She is a pretty good teacher for thinking outside of the box...

Cutie Bruisers, Devon, Caim, Angelus

Devon got down from Angelus as he responded to Kalastryn, holding Ton-Ton in the process with one arm to ensure he didn't fall. "Well, I never thought Melethia would get so close to him, but apparently Slindis and her see something in him. Then again, considering what we were up against, it wasn't the oddest thing. I mean, I never thought I'd ever hear her or Teri go on such a rampage after he nearly got shot down..."

He put Ton-Ton down on the ground as he pulled out an oddly humming blade [http://s1226.photobucket.com/user/TajuhDDO/media/ScreenShot00058_zpsc5d2c007.jpg.html] from the sidepack and brushed the Tonberry's cloak off. "Anyone says you don't have a soul, you go ahead and tell me. I'll show them otherwise, because you really are awesome. How much light do you think we'll need in there?" Devon took the first steps inside the door to see what was happening in there.

Slindis, Rugal, Lupito

Slindis was undeterred as her eyes naturally adjusted to the lack of light and she responded. [color=c20000]"It was a far smaller group than the Rising Dawn, I'd say 6 at most. Still, we were all a tightly-knit group. You had Panthyer, the best trapsmith I've ever worked with, lethal markswoman, and extremely close friend. Shieldwarden was a Warforged: one of the earlier ones, but still an extremely intimidating man and a champion of Warforged rights. Agronttir was a stubborn dwarf, skilled with his axes and he always knew how to cut through to the heart of the matter. Dekarn was a lively man, always hard to really figure out and he was a fairly skilled spellcaster for a musician. And finally we had Ferill. Although the halfling was in the twilight of his years even when we first met, he showed me a good deal of what a paladin should be and I owed a great deal to him."[/color]

She saw some faint movements in the distance as she continued. [color=c20000]"We had a good number of deeds under our belts: Stopping a plague meant to free something even the Lords of Dust feared, Freeing the peoples of the Menechtarun from the crushing thousand year reign of the Demon Queen Lailat, defusing the war between the Silver Flame and the Sovereign Host that was meant to draw the attention away from the rakshasa masquerading as a Silver Flame Inquisitor as he tried to free the Spinner of Shadows. The mess caused by the aftereffects of that one, now that was a challenge. Lolth was a goddess that the universe would be better off with, but with the collapse of Eberron, the whiplash must have taken her Demonweb and Faerun out in the process."[/color] Slindis's Ki Pool once again told Rugal the honesty of Slindis' statements, as if he honestly needed to check that.

 

[StormShaun]

Storm-178 (And

Alpha

)
Location: Desert.
Time: 12pm.

Alpha came back quickly.
"

[color=nvayblue]It seems they are native Americans ...[/color]

"
"You don't say~" The Spartan said to himself.
*Ahem* "

[color=nvayblue]... and I could not distinguish why they have that look in their eyes. It might be some ritual they do.[/color]

"
"I'll keep that in mind." Storm said as he activated his helmet's speaker again.

"Greetings master and residents of the cloud lands, I am man from the stars." Storm said hoping they will understand his slowly spoken english as well.
"I was forced to come down to the bottom, but I have risen once more. Me and my people need your help so we can rise back to the stars." Storm was worried that they might not believe his story, even if it was the truth.

Edited in:

Spoiler: YAY 11 thousand posts!

 

[000Ronald]

Matt said something inaudible, then looked off into the distance. Boss did the same. Far, far off into the distance, he saw (barely) a line of black smoke. "I can't believe I missed that. Can we go jack the train now?"

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Melethia, Jenny, Teri, Sadei

Within a short space of time, they had neared the outskirts of the mine.

Spoiler: Mine

Large men worked tirelessly to obtain the ground's minerals and ores for their company: Hyperion Mining.
Everyone seemed to invested in their work to pay much attention to anything else, allowing the Imps to start stripping the men of their pieces when no one was looking.
As this went on, They managed to get a look at the famed Gatling Gun as it was wheeled past in a wagon with a sentry on top, seemingly on patrol.

Spoiler: Gun

Soon the Imps returned with a massive pile of guns and they weren't even half done!
It was clear that whatever was going on here, they didn't take kindly to any visitors.

"Wow....Maybe...we should ask the office first..." Jenny stated as the pile of handguns grew bigger and bigger.


Cutie Bruisers, Devon, Caim, Angelus

The Residential part of the town was empty, didn't even find any trace of anything living.
The Homes were bare, no furniture anywhere, completely hollow.
Caim checked his PDA and used it to track the Crystal.
It brought him before a Large Stone Door that was built into the cliff the town was built on.
It too was coated in a layer of dust an inch thick and had the following message hanging above it:
"veram potestatem venit ab intrinseco"

The Crystal was beyond that door, but it had been sealed for years...

Slindis, Rugal, Lupito

Rugal listened attentively as he mimicked every movement that Slindis's field made, though he began to get a headache from using his Sense so much.
"I see...Certainly sounds like the people of Eberron clearly owed a great deal to you. And I'm certain your allies are proud of you...where-ever they are..." He stated, hoping he wasn't causing her distress by having her recount her fallen allies.
"...Gah! This isn't working...Going to give myself a migraine at this rate!" he cursed, unable to use his Sense for much longer.
"...May I borrow you hand as a guide?"

Storm, People of the Land of Clouds

Beat
"...HAHAHAAHAAHAHHA!" The Elder bursted into laughter, along with everyone else at the moronic tale that Storm had woven.
"HAHAHAAHAHA! You not Man from Stars! No man live there!" He said, unable to contain his laughter.
Storm managed to get a better look at his eyes and found that they were slightly reddened, as well as the fact he smelled of smoke.
In fact, All of them did!
"Hooooo...Why you here, Bottom Dweller?..." He repeated as everyone tried (And Failed) to regain their mysterious persona after laughing that hard.

 

[Moros]

"Why I do believe we can, good sir," Matt said as he powered up the mech. "Unless you need me to carry the locomotive, I'll be guard duty. This mech has quite a few defensive measure and just one weapon. Here's hoping I don't have to use it," he said with a grin.

 

[StormShaun]

Underneath the helmet of the spartan laid a very, very angry Storm.
Alpha was very worried what was going to happen next since she could read his feelings and thoughts.
"

[color=nvayblue]This isn't good.[/color]

"
The Spartan started to emit a shallow laugh.

"Ahahahahaha~"

It began to get louder.

"[HEADING=3]Ahahahahaha![/HEADING]"

Then louder, which was the point where flames started to sprout from his helmet.

[HEADING=2]"Ahahahahah!!"[/HEADING]

Too bad someone didn't do the weather forecast today because someone should of predicted a pissed off Storm!

[HEADING=1]"Ahahahahaha!!!"[/HEADING]

At this point, blue flames where spewing from his helmet.
And his energy sword had extended itself out from it's device.
If anyone could describe him right now it would be in the term of "Demon".

Spoiler: If they could see anything behind him.

"I suggest you apologize but if you don't ... I won't kill you, I'll just take your limbs!" The now Demon like Spartan said in a dark, cold tone and ended it in another crazy laugh.

 

[Kalastryn]

snip

Kalastryn retracted her wings and pulled something out of a sack on her belt, she knew combat wouldn't have been necessary before now, but a little bit of paranoia kicked in when she saw the door. She takes out a glove with a red sphere embedded on the back of the glove.

Spoiler: Weapon from Aion for the sorcerer class, figured it fitting

The gem weapon from Aion is a magic/melee weapon. It's short ranged like a melee weapon, but the stats are that of a spell-book in that it raises the accuracy and potency of spells, but deals pretty much insignificant damage compared to your spells if used to attack with.

The orb begins to glow in the shadow of the doorway as it hovers between her hands. "So... anyone here have any objections to me blowing the door off?" she asks jokingly, giggling after.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

The Not So Great Train Robbery

The Train raced towards the would be thieves, it was a Passenger Train so it had 5 carriages and an Engine.
Around half the the train had some form of weapon on them and they knew how to use it.
The Driver saw the mech on the side of the tracks and began to blow the wistle, hoping to get it's user to get away incase he was going to walk in front of the train

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Storm, People of the Land of Clouds

The Tribe watched on in Awe as Storm managed to have a head on fire without getting burned, not really paying attention to anything else.
"....whoa.....Hot light!" The elder shouted, causing the entire Tribe to repeat "HOT LIGHT! HOT LIGHT! HOT LIGHT!"
They dropped everything and began to celebrate, jumping up and down with joy at the sight of Storm's head being on fire.
"You! You come with Veteran Child! You come to Land-Of-Clouds! You light Spirit of Clouds!" The Elder known as Veteran Child stated to Storm, treating him much more respectively now.

 

[StormShaun]

"

Geez, calm down now. Look at them!

"
Alpha pointed out to everyone looking towards his flames.
Storm sighed and the flames returned to a normal orange color.
He was still somewhat angry on the inside but on the outside he still showed he was still alert.

"(So ... are they high?)" Storm questioned their laughter from before.
The Spartan pointed towards Veteran Child, "Fine, I'll come ... but don't try anything." Storm said as he looked back tot he point where Slindis and Rugal have been travelling.

"(Hopefully they won't try anything ... I would hate to do something like America's settlers.)" Storm prayed to his God before exchanging his sword for his shotgun.
Still feeling the distrust within him.

 

[000Ronald]

Boss rolled his eyes. "Sure, make me do all the-"

Ahahahahahahaha-"

"The mech is defense oriented, I can't-"

"Quiet!" Boss said. Then, after a few seconds, "Can you hear that?"

Ahahahahahaha-"

The laugh was chilling and filled with rage. Boss wasn't sure if he was hearing it or sensing-

"Yeah, I hear it now. And I know that laugh. Someone-or something-is filled with bloodlust.

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Far off in the distance, maybe ten miles away, there was a flash of blue light. The laugh had turned into a howl now, and it looked like a storm was coming from nowhere in the distance.

"Change of plans." Boss said. "You stop the train, grab the locomotive; I find out what that is."

"Stop." Matt said. "You were just talking about thinking? Think about this. First, that thing isn't your problem. Not yet. Second, we need that train to fix the ship. Thrid, and again, you don't know what that thing is! What if you can't fight it? What if it kills you?"

Boss scoffed. "I can crush aircraft carriers like tin cans; I threw a skyscraper at a guy once. I'll be fine, you take the train; I'll catch up-"

"Like hell you will. We need to do this now. We only have one opportunity. Whatever that is can wait until we have some kind of reinforements."

"...damn it. You're right, but I don't have to like it."

"Agreed. Now let's do this."

Boss nodded, and Matt found himself right in the path of the oncoming train.

In The Engine Room!

Boss tapped the Conductor on the shoulder. "Hiya! No hard feelings, but I'm gonna need this train. All of it."

 

[mcpop9]

Esia, the dark magician girl was riding the train back towards Gunsmoke, from one of her shows in another town. She was working as a show girl in saloons and was making a decent living for herself. The whistle however, brought her attention to the outside of the train and she saw a mech or something of the sort, advancing towards the train. Not liking this, she got up and began to make her way to the front of the train.

She was in her formal dress, and getting it dirty wasn't something she'd like.

Spoiler: Formal Dress

She eventually made her way out of the first passenger car and up to the engine's cab. "Bob? what is that thing?" she asked, but found him being harassed by someone.

"HEY! GET YOUR FILTHY HANDS OFF OF BOB!" the dark Magician girl shouted and boss was met with a club to the side of the head. the hit was enough to throw him out of the cab and onto the ground rushing by, but not enough to do any damage.

Esia began to float, she floated up and landed ontop of the engine's cab. "Leave the train alone!" the girl declared.

[hr]
Dea sighed. Then she poked Matt in the head. "We might have an issue."

 

[bluerocker]

Melethia, Jenny, Teri, Sadei

"Wow....Maybe...we should ask the office first..." Jenny stated as the pile of handguns grew bigger and bigger.

Teri shook her head at the thought, [color=0E59E4]"It doesn't look like they're gunning, pun not intended, for pleasantries here... I got an idea."[/color]

Pouring out a bottle of water, Teri summoned a familiar energy to create her friendly neighbourhood water elemental into the world, and pointed towards the camp, jibbering in Aquan, [color=0e59E4]"Place yourself as close to the ground as you can, and investigate that camp. I'll call upon you again, so don't try to come back to this destination. Use all your time to check the place out. Stay hidden. Stay safe."[/color]

With a nod, the elemental did as told, and began fanning out into the camp, doing specifically as his mistress commanded; slowly slinking inwards...

Cutie Bruisers, Devon, Caim, Angelus, Kalastryn

"veram potestatem venit ab intrinseco"

Caim's brow furrowed for a moment, and quickly typed the message on his phone and sent it to Dimitri,

"What does that mean...?"

A moment later, the Butler's voice chimed in, [color=3897E0]

"Ah, yes, User: Caim, the language of origin is Latin, and the inscription reads, 'true power comes from within'. Is there anything else I can do to aid you?"

[/color]

Caim shook his head,

"No, thank you Dimitri."

He made a note to keep that in mind, and moved out the way for Kalastryn to do her thing. After the door came crashing down, Caim couldn't help but feel that the words would come into play somehow. Crypts like this had that sort of tendency.

As they wandered Ton Ton gave another word of thanks to Devon, [color=15650D]"That's awfully nice Mr. Devon, but you don't need to go out of your way for me. Besides, I think my friend here, "[/color]

he indicated to Cadolbolg, who had taken roost on Caim's head again, [color=15650D]"Would probably roast them or zap them first. Not that I intend to roast or zap anybody who's mean to me. That's not a very good thing to do either...."[/color]

((If the cave is too big for Angelus, just assume she's swapped forms between posts.))

 

[000Ronald]

Boss landed face-first on the dusty plain with a thud. That...had just happened.

Why am I always getting sucker-punched? Boss thought to himself, sitting up. It's like a bad joke.

Standing up and dusting himself off, Boss decided it didn't matter. I can crush aircraft carriers like soda cans. I once threw The Empire State Building at a guy. A girl in a pink dress should be nothing.

Boss teleported back into the engine. "Don't you-" Pink-dress girl was gone.

"She's up there." The conductor said, pointing to the roof. "I'd watch out. She's a toughie."

"uhh...thanks?" Boss said, teleporting to to the roof of the cabin. "HEY! YOU! WHY'D YOU-"

Without a word or a glance, Boss was smacked off of the train and landed face-first into the dusty plain. Again. "WHAT THE CRAP?"

 

[mcpop9]

"ALRIGHT, THAT'S IT!" Boss shouted and teleported back ontop of the train. He let out a slap where he thought the girl would be.


Guess what?

Turns out he was wrong and his hand met nothing but the air. That's when he looked down and found that she was down on the cab's roof and pulling a split. He was staring right down the tip of her wand and down her arm.

"How is she not burning her under-" he was saying but got cut off. "MAGICIAL BEAM!" she shouted and fired the energy directly into Boss's face.

needless to say, something familiar happened.

 

[000Ronald]

Boss steadied himself in midair. "Oh, it is so on now."

Flying down level to the caboose, Boss lifted the entire train up, into the sky. Teleporting back on the top of the train, he said, "You can knock me down again, but this whole train will drop." Boss smirked. "Care to talk?"

 

[Moros]

"You know I would like a plan to go smoothly for once," Matt said as looked at the train floating in midair. He then produced a bottle of vodka and drank straight from it while he waited for Boss to be done.

 

[mcpop9]

"No." she said and landed on the train, extending her levitation ability to the train. She was now out of breath from it, but not done. "Magical Beam!" she shouted and sent boss flying once again. Now the train began its controlled descent to the tracks it was on.

[hr]
Dea and Matt
"You know that stuff can kill you and hurt you, right?" she asked him.
